| Post subject: | Adding Ram |
The last time I did this, the choices were a lot simpler. My desktop (dual core 2.4 GHz Pentium) has 4 slots, 2 of which have 512 Mb 667 ram modules in them. I saw a nice deal on Newegg for 2 1 Gb 667 ram modules. Is there anything I need to worry about compatibility between the old ones and the new? Are there certain brands I should just stay away from? As I recall, with a dual core, 4 slots means each core can access equal amounts of ram (I could be way off), so this way I'd have 1.5 Gb available to each core. Advice welcome. |

The only real consideration, you've already covered. The 667 is the important part, and if you got faster RAM it'd have to be down-clocked to match whatever the slowest stick in the system was. I find that Corsair and Kingston have always been reliable. |

Cool deal. The ram on sale was Corsair. Thanks for the help, Lenas. |

Buy the RAM. Corsair is sweet, and you've matched speeds already. |
